[MOSAIC] Please Help

Lauren,
  Another thing that might help is Time for Kids, Scholastic News, or some other magazine style publication. The articles are engaging and short. Because these are written with certain grade levels in mind, you could approximate their grade level for reading and order that grade. You may even be able to find a teacher who has some extra copies to share with you. 
   
  I also include magazines in my classroom that are written for kids. Sports Illustrated for kids is great for sports lovers. National Geographic has some good publications, as well. I think about American Girl, Boy's Life, Ranger Rick, and Zoo Books, too. You may be able to approach the parents and get each one to donate a subscription to the class. If you have enough variety, you are certain to find something that would interest the kids.
   
  Have you considered graphic novels? Just be careful of the content if they come from Japan there is a coding system you will want to pay attention to so you don't accidentally have books that are graphic in another sense!

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
